Here are the answers to a written examination on the second chapter of Daniel, by a day-scholar, fifteen years of age. The answers are sufficiently intelligible without the questions. This boy has attended our school parts of two years. We found him in a little shanty of one or two rooms, situated below the level of the street, in close proximity to a duck-pond, which afforded his father a means of livelihood. He has never been a boarding-pupil, and his only instruction has been in the regular day session of the school. He has now gone back to China with his parents, and his examination was written shortly before he left. He expects to return in a few months, and again enter the school. He has shown an interest in the school aside from himself, having been instrumental in bringing other boys into it. All his school work has been of excellent quality, and he was able to take charge of his father’s store in the latter’s absence (his father having exchanged his poultry business for that of a grocery). Now for the examination, which I give in his own words:—
“1. Nebuchadnezzar one night was thinking if a new kingdom will be raised after his, after going to bed.
“2. Next morning he felt very sorry that he has forgotten what he been seen last night.
“3. The cause of his feeling is because he had dreamed a dream that he has forgotten all about it, so wonderful.
“4. He called the sorcerers, the magicians, and astrologers to help him.
“5. Daniel helped him.
“6. The God of heaven helped; He know the dream and interpretation.
“7. Nebuchadnezzar had dreamed a dream a great image, the head was gold, the arm, breast was silver, the belly and thigh was brass, the legs was iron, and toes was made part of iron and a part of clay, and stone cut without hands.
“8. The head of gold represented the kingdom of Babylon, the silver represented second kingdom, the brass represented the third kingdom, the iron represented the fourth kingdom, this kingdom was strong as iron; the fourth kingdom shall be divided into ten different kingdom, because the clay and iron wouldn’t stick together.
“9. The stone that cut without hands represented God.
“10. Nebuchadnezzar said unto Daniel, Your God is a God of gods.”
In a physiology examination this question was asked: “Do you want to belong to the family of tobacco-users? Why?”
The following answers were given: 1. “No!” because it poison my body fats. and weaken my mind.” 2. “I think no one likes to belong to the family of tobacco-users, because if one use, it weakens the mind, and besides that it is very poisonous.” 3. “I do not wishes to belong to the family of the tobacco, because it is harmful thing. If I learn to use tobacco, my father will scold me; because my family has no one got into the habit of using tobacco since I was born.” 4. “No, sir; because it is very bad for me. Suppose I use of it, the poison will kill me; so I don’t want belong its family.” 5. “Hoping I will not do so; because the physiology say so.” 6. “I do not want to belong to the class of tobacco-users because it bring moral, mental, and physical ruins; because most users of this weed are selfish and mean, they do not care for others, but about themselves, by poisoning the air and spitting everywhere; because I tried to smoke, and it made me sick; I tried to chew it, and it gave me great nausea, and make me vomit so much that my bile was drawn out. If God will help me, I will never use tobacco, alcohol, or anything of that kind.”
Only one of this class of six boys has formed the habit of cigarette-smoking (the only form of tobacco-using we have yet met among the boys in our school), and that is the one who gave answer No. 2. This fact is quite clearly indicated in his impersonal, evasive answer.
Not long ago our advanced physiology class had a written review on digestion. Of the six papers handed in, I laid aside the two best, and from the remaining four, selected answers, each one complete in itself, to all the questions put. Following,
are the questions, with the answers in the pupil’s own language:—
“1. What is meant by digestion? Ans.—The digestion means to dissolve the various food substances, and prepare for absorption into the blood. 2. Where is the process of digestion carried on? Ans.—Process of digestion carried on along the alimentary canal and connected with the various glands and different organs of the body. 3. Name all the digestive organs, and tell where each is located. Ans.—Mouth, tongue, and teeth contained in mouth; esophagus, which from mouth to the stomach about nine inches long; stomach, which is situated on left side, it is somewhat like pear in shape, and it capable keep one or two quarts of foods in it; small intestines, which is about twenty feet in length, fold in the under of the stomach; colon, which is about five feet in length. It is from right side to the left, and it is much larger of the small intestines; the pancreas is left upon the stomach; the absorption is in anywhere, until the digestive fluid digested done; the liver is in right side, and it is a large organ cover the stomach. 4. Into what five general parts is the digestive apparatus divided? Ans.—Mouth, stomach, river (the characteristic confusion of l and r), pancreas, intestines. 5. Name the digestive fluids, and tell where each is produced. Ans.—Salivary glands, producing saliva; peptic glands, producing gastric juice; the small intestinal, producing intestinal juice; the liver, producing the bile. 6. Name the five digestible food elements. Ans.—Starch, albumen, sugar, salt, oil. 7. Tell what food element each fluid digests. Ans.—Starch digest by saliva; albumen digested by gastric juice; fats digested by the bile; cane-sugar digested by intestinal juice. Every one of the fluids digest salt. Pancreatic juice digests starch and albumen. The intestinal digests cane-sugar, starch, albumen, and fats.
8. Name the ten digestive processes: Ans.—There are ten digestive processes: mastication, salivary digestion, deglutition, gastric digestion, biliary digestion, pancreatic digestion, intestinal digestion, peristaltic action, absorption, and liver digestion. 9. What is the nature of gastric juice? Of bile? Of what use is each besides the work of digestion? Ans.—The gastric juice prevent the food from fermentation. The nature of its juice is acid. Bile prevents decay of food substances in the bowels, aids absorption, and stimulates peristaltic action. 10. Tell all you can about the work of the liver. Ans.—The liver is a store to keep the food elements in a small box and give it away little by little when the body needs to use. The liver can digest the sugar and also poison and alcoholic drinks, and tobacco, narcotics. 11. Tell some things in the apparatus and work of digestion that show God’s wisdom and kindness. Ans.—We should thank the God all the time because He made our body so wonderful, and give to our life all the power of action.”
The above is a picture of this physiology class.

TEXAS
By J. B. Clark
Galveston.— Before the Galveston flood, we had about twenty-five members in our church here. Since then some have moved away, and we have had no meetings. I have been hunting up all our brethren and sisters whom I can find, and have made arrangements to have meetings again.
Five years before we accepted the truth, Mrs. Clark and I were members of the Student Volunteer movement started by Moody. The way never opened for us to go to a foreign field, but we have done what we could in our own land. The people here are easily reached, and I feel sure that a city mission would be the means of helping many to find and accept Jesus as their Saviour. Money is needed to secure the services of an experienced practical mission worker and to get the mission started. Those who wish to aid in this work should send their contributions to C. N. Woodward, secretary and treasurer of the Texas Tract Society, Box 581, Dallas, Tex., and I will send them a receipt for all money received, and will report concerning the work to those interested.

MISSIONARY BOX
By Mrs. S. M. Kennedy
I WISH to tell you how I have used the papers, magazines, etc., that have come to me as the result of my request in the REVIEW.
At first I had a goodly number,—more than I could use in my little wayside box,—so I folded all extra ones, and a brother, a farmer, who drives to Mobile, which is about twenty miles distant, took them with him, and gave them away. He says that some reach their hand out long before they get to him, and others cross the street to meet him, and ask for more of those papers, declaring that they are good, if they are old.
But I must tell about my box. While many papers that are taken from it are looked over and at least partly read,—and I pray that they may do good,—332some papers, of course, are destroyed, and some efforts, made to injure the box. I still keep as good an assortment in it as I can, and quite a good many look the papers over, and take one. I can only leave the result with God. Pray for us here in the South, for it is a needy field. We can use all the papers we can get, and shall be very thankful for them. MRS. S. M. KENNEDY.
SCOTLAND
By R. M.; Mary Lamie
JACK'S LAND, NEWARTHILL, VIA MOTHERWELL.
DEAR FRIENDS IN AMERICA: Good news from this field! We want you to rejoice with us.
One good brother, who was left alone in Long-riggend when we came to this place, has, by his faithfulness and gentleness, been the means of leading his wife and their nearest neighbor to the truth. The neighbor kept her first Sabbath this week.
A good brother and his wife two miles from here, who have been in the truth only two or three months, have decided to devote all their time to the work of spreading the message. They prize the REVIEW very much. The Spirit of Prophecy, health reform, tithing, and many things that seem a cross to some persons, these dear souls accept with thankfulness.
To-day a young man who has been studying a short time was at our home a few hours. He had read an article on the Sabbath in the Present Truth, and instead of rejecting the truth he had already heard, he hailed the Sabbath truth with joy; and his wife, who had never made a profession of religion, fully decided to be on the Lord's side. He is making an effort to stop using tobacco, to which he has been a slave since he was ten years old. Will you unite with us in praying that the Lord may help him, or rather, that he may take hold of the help God has already provided for him? Another young man has already accepted the health reform, and loves it. Pray for him and for his wife also. He is an artist.
We have a very peculiar Sabbath-school organization. We call it the Newarthill Sabbath-school, but we meet at the homes of the scattered ones once each month. Each division meets and studies the lesson every Sabbath. At the monthly meeting a report in regard to each of these separate companies is given, stating the attendance, collection, etc., together with the report of the monthly general meeting. There are twenty-four members. All the brethren and sisters love one another; for we are all too much occupied in overcoming our own failings, and in presenting the truth to friends and neighbors, to get time for fault-finding.
We are all very much moved by the articles in the REVIEW on the canvassing work. We have told the Lord that we are here, and will go and canvass as soon as these dear ones who are now interested are fully established in the faith. We believe that the end is near. The articles on the Plagues have stirred us very much. If any of our dear friends in America want to help us, they can do so by sending us their REVIEWS, containing the articles on the Plagues.
This is indeed a needy field. Consecrated workers are needed. If we had a million dollars, I do not believe the Lord would be as well pleased with the gift as with one man or woman to work for Him, and of course, with Him. Pray with us for God to send forth reapers to Scotland.

ARE YOU PREPARING FOR IT?
By S. H. Lane
PREPARING for what?—For the general day of prayer and consecration to God, and the collection to be taken July 6 for the aid of the Christiania publishing house. We trust all are planning for that very important day. The national day of independence will be celebrated the Fourth. Shall we not celebrate our independence from sin on the following Sabbath? God is upon the giving hand, and His mercies were never greater than they are to-day. Prosperity has dawned over our land. The nations of earth are comparatively quiet as far as war is concerned at the present time. Those wars which have raged during the last two or three years are subsiding, and in this time of peace and prosperity we should take hold and lift with all our might and power to free our institutions from the embarrassment of debt.
Our denominational institutions are not by any means in bankruptcy,—far from it. These institutions are needed to carry on our work, and with them out of debt, the work of the last message could be advanced as never before; and now let us do in times of prosperity what will have to be done in times of adversity if we do not take hold of the work now. We are thankful for what is being done, and for the spirit of liberality that has come in among our people. Who will help, and help now? We trust all are beginning to plan and lay aside something to help in the collection of July 6. Eleven thousand dollars must be sent on soon to aid our Christiania publishing house. Who will help raise this amount? Pray over the matter, and decide in favor of the contribution for the cause of God.
Last week we mentioned the desirability of offerings being made to help in the distribution of literature at the Confederate Reunion to be held at Memphis, Tenn., the last of this month. Have you sent on your mite as we requested last week? Address either H. M. Mitchell, Battle Creek, Mich., or I. A. Ford, 243 S. Boulevard, Atlanta, Ga. If you have not sent, please send immediately. The Review and Herald Office has made a liberal contribution of reading-matter. The Pacific Press will do the same, and we trust that decided action will be taken. At this Reunion thousands will assemble, and every one present should receive reading-matter on the grandest truth that ever dawned on mortals in this the sixth-day evening of time. The King's business demands haste.
S. H. LANE.
THE WORK IN THE SOUTH
NASHVILLE, TENN., May 14, 1901.
Dear Brethren: The Lord has bidden us to send forth an appeal to all our people in behalf of the Southern work. He has promised that He will by this means impress hearts. The facts are now in your hands. You cannot neglect or ignore them without incurring grave responsibility. Will you not read the accompanying lines, not only carefully but prayerfully, humbly inquiring at every step: “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do”? or better yet, “Lord, show me how much I can do for you in this needy field”?
In a recent Testimony, Sister White says: “It is represented to me that the barren places in the Lord’s vineyard are as a reflection cast upon Him. The contrast is plain between what should be done and what is not done; and God gets the reproach of the neglect.... In the day of Judgment this reflection will be cast back upon those who have neglected their God-given work.”
The Lord is calling upon us to come up to His help, and to roll away this reproach. Volunteer workers are already on the grounds, working on a missionary basis, and in a number of places beginnings have been made, but the Lord says: “Four times as much must now be done for this field as for any other.” “A thousand times as much should be done as is being done at the present time.”
“No one who believes in present truth can afford longer to neglect this work. It must be done. It will be done. The only question is, “Who shall do it?” Shall we, or shall the Lord raise up others to do His work?
The following tells what must be done, what has been begun, and what we hope, by the grace of God, to accomplish in the near future. Those who are on the grounds have gone just as far as they can; and now the Lord says: “Behold, the possessions of the world are mine. There are no territorial lines; there are no boundaries to be made. Present to the churches the true state of this long-neglected field, the long-neglected portions of my vineyard. There are hearts that will be touched, and that will respond. Call for means to come directly to the workers in the Southern field; I will impress hearts.”
This call has now come to you who read these lines. What answer will you return to the Lord? May you each respond just as liberally and as promptly as possible. The conflict may be sharp, but it cannot be long. Glorious victory lies just a little way ahead; and those who have a part in the work, either directly or by their offering, will have a share in the harvest home.
Yours for service,
SOUTHERN PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION.
The Situation
Seeing the crying need of just such work as is outlined above, certain of the officers of the Southern Missionary Society, in December, purchased property, and made a beginning.
At the recent General Conference, that portion of the field heretofore known as District 2, was organized as the Southern Union Conference. The Nashville publishing plant was also recognized as the regular publishing house for this field, the same as the Review and Herald and the Pacific Press are in their fields.
The Review and Herald branch house at Atlanta is being turned over to the Nashville house, and will be removed to this place as soon as proper room for it can be provided.
The Gospel Herald was also accepted as the pioneer paper for this field, and it will be made a weekly as soon as conditions will warrant.
But already every inch of available space in the present building is occupied, and so crowded that work is being done at great disadvantage. A large cylinder press has been secured for the work, but it cannot be shipped to us until room is provided. Hence a new building must be added at once, the lower part of which will be occupied by the printing work, and the upper part as a home for the workers. Such a building will cost not less than three thousand dollars.
In a recent letter of instruction we are told regarding this very work, “You must move by faith, work by faith, and plan by faith.” And again, “In no case run into debt. Do your work on a sure basis.”
On the strength of such instruction, some of the workers have personally advanced six hundred dollars to begin the work. Lumber will be bought and the frame started at once, believing that our people will rally to meet the needs of the work, as they have many times in the past. But the work will go no faster nor further than we have the money to pay. We shall work to our instructions closely. But we believe that you will aid now, so that there will be no delay in this work.
This publishing work is now being incorporated, as our other houses have been, under the name of the “Southern Publishing Association.”
This publishing house is the enterprise in greatest need of immediate assistance. It should be at once placed on a solid working basis. Will you join us in this effort? If so, fill out the following coupons, cut them out, and forward them with your contribution to the Southern Publishing Association, 1025 Jefferson St., Nashville, Tenn.

CEDAR LAKE INDUSTRIAL ACADEMY
By J. G. Lamson
THE time is drawing near when the young people of our churches in Michigan should be laying plans to attend school this fall. The Cedar Lake Industrial Academy will have ready for distribution about June 1 the calendar of their school for the coming year. The principal of the school desires to be placed in touch with every young person who is anxious to obtain an education, and to that end he desires that all church and Sabbath-school officers in the State take sufficient interest in the young people of their locality to send in the names of those who may be induced to come to school, beginning next fall.
The Conference Committee have directed that the principal of the school visit as many of the churches as possible during the summer season, in the interests of education. In harmony with this recommendation, I would be pleased to hear from all churches who desire that special work be done with them relative to educational matters, and I will make as many appointments as possible during the summer season.
At the present time especially, I desire the names of those who are planning to attend a school away from home this fall. This is missionary work in which all may engage with but little expense to themselves. Let us hear from each one.
J. G. Lamson, Principal.
